Effects of Mutuality of Control Orientation between Leaders and Group Members

Abstract

This study assessed the effect of mutuality of control orientation between group leaders and group members. Mean change scores for group members were analyzed using a 2X2 factorial analysis of variance. No significant interaction between the control orientation of the group leader and the group members was found. However, there is an indication that group members classified as externals changed more than did internals. Further, group members working with external leaders became more internal than did group members whose leaders were internal.     

TPACK and Pre-Service Teacher Mathematics Education: Defining a Signature Pedagogy for Mathematics Education Using ICT and Based on the Metaphor “Mathematics Is a Language”

National professional standards for teachers in Australia (AITSL, 2011) expect teacher education graduates to demonstrate technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). Those standards have emerged concurrently with the development of a new Australian mathematics curriculum. Thus, the expectation is that graduates can demonstrate the use of information and communication technologies in mathematics teaching and learning. The authors argue that “signature pedagogy” (Shulman, 2005 Shulman, L. S. 1986. Those who understand: Knowledge growth in teaching. Educational Researcher, 15(2): 4–14. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) is the use of a key metaphor which views mathematics as a language and suggests that mathematics should be taught and learned as any other language. This article provides a summary of the findings of an action research project involving two cohorts of undergraduate mathematics education students in an Australian university. Data collected was used to inform targeted changes to improve the technological pedagogical approach employed by the course team across two offers of the course to enhance student learning and align the course with the expectations for graduate teachers. The implications of this action research are provided to inform the design and implementation of pre-service teacher education courses with respect to the development of TPACK capabilities specifically in mathematics education.     

在课堂教学中使用语料库:其优点与需要注意的问题

本从教学实用的角度重新就使用语料库的正、反两方面的观点作了探讨与评论。作认为语料库有可能成为语言教学中最为有用的工具之一，但若要充分发挥其作用，则仍然需要广大研究人员、教师与语料库设计人员的共同努力。中还认为，学习语料库对中国的英语学习将会十分有用。

信息通讯技术是否对教学法有影响?(英文)

不同学者对教学法有不同理解,随着信息通讯技术在教学中的广泛应用,与之相联系的新教学法也应运而生。是什么因素影响了信息通讯技术在教学中的应用?教师需要做好课程计划以及对后续课程的准备,但更重要的是他们需要有好的教学想法,只有这样才能有效地把信息通讯技术与教学相结合起来。     

论高中英语课堂教学目标的设计

我国外语教育界的专家学者普遍认为,我国的英语教学仍处于＂费事低效＂的阶段,其根本原因是英语教学目标的设计出现了一些偏差,从而导致英语教学目标没有发挥合理的课堂教学导向作用。合理有效地设计英语课堂教学目标是实施有效教学的前提,同时也对教师的英语教学及学生英语学习有重要影响。文章通过论述英语课堂教学目标的定位、构成（预设性和生成性教学目标构成）及其与有效教学的关系来说明英语课堂教学目标的重要性,并提出有效的英语课堂教学目标的设计应该建立在对《英语课程标准》、学生学情以及英语教材深入分析的基础之上,以便引起英语教师对英语教学目标设定的关注,帮助他们设定科学合理的教学目标,从而提高英语课堂教学的有效性。     

Organizing, Teaching, and Assessing for Student Success in Introductory College Physics

As part of a doctoral dissertation, Ben （2010） completed a study that extends to 462 pages. After a careful examination of this study and others that are in print, there seems to be a direct relationship between the decline in physics enrollment at the postsecondary level and the increase in the number of studies that have been carried out to determine why have we been off the mark in identifying the real problems that are contributing to the declining enrollment and the decreased student success in physics courses？ One problem is introductory physics books are generally written using a deductive approach, and because the teachers follow the organization of these books, they teach in a deductive, boring, and confusing way, and then, blame the students for being unprepared when they do not succeed. This approach distances the teachers--and physics--from the experience, knowledge, and initial interest of many beginning students. Another problem has been the absence of any alternative curriculum to the deductive one. In this paper, we describe a fully-developed alternative curriculum, really a detailed course design for Introductory College Physics I and II, each with its own text presented in the format of a three-ring binder, one for students and one for teachers which closely parallel one another. The course content is constructed to be both teacher and student friendly, so that a teacher can teach physics in an inductive, exciting, and clear manner. In addition, we describe and provide examples of the pedagogical and classroom management techniques that have proven extremely successful.     

What Teachers of Science Need to Know about Models: An overview

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the nature of models and their uses in the science classroom based on a theoretical review of literature. The ideas that science philosophers and science education researchers have in common about models and modelling are scrutinised according to five subtopics: meanings of a model, purposes of modelling, multiplicity of scientific models, change in scientific models and uses of models in the science classroom. First, a model can be defined as a representation of a target and serves as a ‘bridge’ connecting a theory and a phenomenon. Second, a model plays the roles of describing, explaining and predicting natural phenomena and communicating scientific ideas to others. Third, multiple models can be developed in science because scientists may have different ideas about what a target looks like and how it works and because there are a variety of semiotic resources available for constructing models. Fourth, scientific models are tested both empirically and conceptually and change along with the process of developing scientific knowledge. Fifth, in the science classroom, not only teachers but also students can take advantage of models as they are engaged in diverse modelling activities. The overview presented in this article can be used to educate science teachers and encourage them to utilise scientific models appropriately in their classrooms.
